Profile: Kontos didn't debut with the Giants until June and very quickly made himself an indispensable part of the bullpen. His 9.07 strikeout rate was second-highest among Giants relievers, behind only Sergio Romo, and good for 30th-best among National League relievers with 40+ innings pitched. Not bad for a guy with only six innings pitched in the majors before 2012. He showed good numbers against both hands, although the sample size is small. He might be useful for rates and ratios in deeper leagues in 2013. (Wendy Thurm/@hangingsliders)

Profile: Kontos is your every day vanilla middle reliever who will be more valuable in real baseball than he will ever be in fantasy. Despite mediocre skills, he has managed to post ERAs below 3.00 for two straight seasons thanks to some excellent batted ball fortune and/or a suppressed home run per fly ball rate or inflated strand rate. In 2015, his strikeout rate plunged to a career low and reached dangerous territory, and yet his ERA improved to set a new career low?! His swinging strike rate suggests that his strikeout rate should rebound toward his career 20% mark though, but his sharpened control might not be sustainable as he essentially chopped it in half without the skills growth to match. With no shot at garnering saves, he has no place on fantasy rosters. (Mike Podhorzer)

The Quick Opinion: There's little here to get excited about given Kontos' thoroughly boring skill set. His distance away from the closer role means he can easily be ignored.
